Base Clsoures

My initial take is that there are no huge mistakes on the list. I expect the usual complaints by the politicians about home state closures, and the lamentations about closing down some of our historical bases by those who have had the privilege of living in field grade or General's quarters on those bases, but all in all...looks pretty good going by me.

Agreed, nothing I saw on the list stood out as anything terribly shocking. Here's a link to the list:

Olympia Snowe's comments regarding Maine base closures was really quite laughable and wholey absurd. I always find it interesting to hear those who know absolutely nothing about strategic protocol and objectives attribute foolishness to the decision making of those who make careers of it. The purpose of the US Military is not to prop up local economies, while politicians like Mrs. Snowe abandon servicemen and their Commander. If she wants jobs, then she and other RINOS, and liberal politicians should cut taxes, flip off Unions, and learn to caress Capitalism. After all, Walmart is more effective at stimulating local economies than decrepit military bases.
